Brazil: Bolsonaro supporters plan Sept 7 protests amid STF tensions, lower social media mobilization

Ahead of Brazil's Independence Day, Bolsonaro supporters are organizing protests in São Paulo, energized by ongoing conflict with the Supreme Federal Court (STF) and facilitated by 300 buses provided by Governor Tarcísio de Freitas and Mayor Ricardo Nunes. Social media mobilization is reportedly lower than on September 7, 2025, suggesting potential reduced turnout. The event could signal political tensions ahead of the 2026 elections.
